Recently I have been pondering NTP reference clocks (yes, I ponder odd
things). While doing some reading, I found out that the ntpd that ships
with most modern distros has a module to decode WWV. The docs claim some
astonishing accuracy.
Materials needed:
- A linux box with a sound card
- A shortwave receiver that can hear WWV
If anyone else out there is interested in constructing such a beast, let me
know!
Why do this? Why not?! :)
